Conservative supporters, including Grover Norquist AND Lawson BaderHe joined the fight to stop the Congress from prohibiting gambling on the Internet, through HR 4301 and S. 2159, both entitled “Restore America’s Wire Act” with a dizzying coalition letter.
“The real intention of this project is to remove 10. Amendments of countries to regulate online gambling, because you consider you appropriate within their own limits,” said the letter.
“We hope that you will not let Rawa become another case in which the federal government is expanding its violation in the scope of states,” said the letter. “State governments are able to make this decision.”
In addition to Norquist, president Americans for tax reformand Lawson, president Competitive Enterprise InstituteNine other conservative and liberatic leaders signed a letter: Larry HartIN American Conservative Union; John TateIN Campaign for Liberty; Andrew LangerIN Liberty Institute; Steve PociaskIN American Consumer Institute; Gary JohnsonIN Our initiative of America; Katie McauliffeIN Digital freedom; Tom Young ManIN Institute of Policy Innovation; David WilliamsIN Taxpayers protection of the alliance; Jeff MazzellaIN The Center for Individual Freedom AND Andrew F. QuinlinIN Center for Freedom and Probability.
When Norquist directs the road, this is a good sign that he will be fully involved in the next Congress session. Last year it was awkward after Norquist criticized conservatives and libertarians Capitol Hill for federal closing in October 2013 and was cold to support the most conservative candidates in the basic foundations.
In the letter he turned to four congress leaders: the leader of the majority of Senate, Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) And the leader of the minority A. Mitchell McConnell and the minority leader of the Nancy Pelosi Chamber and speaker John A. Beohner (R.-Ohio).
The letter was directed to four leaders, but directed to one: Boehner.
There are only a few real working days between the celebration of thanksgiving and Christmas at Capitol.
With time, the withdrawal of the lame duck session GOP House leaders gave up obtaining an account through regular order, especially through the court committee, and canceled the interrogation, which was aimed at starting this process.
The leaders of the Republican Chamber promised Sheldon Adelson, President and General Director of Las Vegas Sands, a gambling combine worth $ 14 billion a year, they will make an invoice.
The leaders of the GOP house also contacted Reid to see if he wants to make Rawa part of a huge settlement of the deck account, full of all tax relief extensions and other gadgets that have never come out of this session.
Until now, Reid has not yet called this marker.
Adelson is the main collaborator of GOP, who donated $ 100 million to republican candidates and committees. Until December 23, 2011, when the Department of Justice reversed the interpretation of the federal law on the wire of 1961, all Adelson ever asked that GOP supported Israel – not a large question.
Before Switch, Justice stated that The Wire Act banned gambling via the Internet, although the law from 1961 was addressed to sports bookmakers using inter -stanker telephone lines.
After he interpreted The Wire Act, mute on gambling on the internet, Adelson swore to spend everything you need to set the right back to the place where it was December 22, 2011.
In the coalition letter, conservative and libertarian activists stay away from Angle Adelson, instead sticking to constitutional principles such as federalism, threatened.
“States have always led in gambling regulation,” said the letter.
“That is why the diverse coalition of the organization, including the Democratic Association of Governors, the National Association of Governors, the National State Legislative Conference and numerous libertarian, free -invaded and conservative groups, has already spoken against these regulations,” said the letter.
“TEM S.2159 and HR 4301 are an attack on our federalist system; To such an extent that legislation in New Jersey and Pennsylvania is currently considering Congress resolutions to ask you to vote against such regulations, “said the letter.
